美国留学 美国中学课程设置与评分体系分析

  美国教育联盟http://www.xueus.com)资深留学顾问老师介绍,美国留学美国中学课程设置与评分体系分析

  1、Basic curricular structure必修课

  Science 自然科学(usually three years minimum, including biology, chemistry, physics)

  Mathematics 数学(usually three years minimum, including algebra, geometry, algebra II, and/or precalculus/trigonometry)

  English语言 (usually four years minimum, including literature, humanities, etc)

  Social Science社会科学 (various history, government, and economics courses, always including American history)

  Physical education 体育(at least one year)

  2、Electives(选修课)

  Common types of electives include:

  Performing arts (drama, band, chorus, orchestra, dance)

  Publishing (journalism/student newspaper, yearbook/annual, literary magazine)

  Foreign languages (Spanish, French are common; Chinese, Latin, Greek, German,and Japanese are less common)

  3、高中GPA 举例:

  GPA,就是grade point average,学业平均成绩。A=4,B=3,C=2,D=1,F=0, 每门课的各个任课老师给出学年ABCD后,学校把整个高中的所有科目的成绩都平均起来,得到一个值,叫做unweight GPA.

  美国留学网(http://www.edumg.com)金牌留学专家刘颖老师介绍,然后因为学校有不同等级的课,AP补助2分,Honor补助一分,regular没有补助,最后,再把这些所有补助的分数加起来,除以15,得数加到unweight GPA上,得到一个值称为weight GPA。每个学校不同,我们学校就是用weight GPA排名(class ranking),所以导致了选课的竞争。

  4、学期、假期、考试

  其他要点:

  一年三个学期:9月初-12月中旬;1月初-3月初;3月下旬-6月初

  4个假期:X’mas, Thanksgiving, Spring break, Summer vacation.
